NAME
    doctest - Module doctest -- a framework for running examples in docstrings.

MODULE REFERENCE
    https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/doctest.html

    The following documentation is automatically generated from the Python
    source files.  It may be incomplete, incorrect or include features that
    are considered implementation detail and may vary between Python
    implementations.  When in doubt, consult the module reference at the
    location listed above.

DESCRIPTION
    In simplest use, end each module M to be tested with:

    def _test():
        import doctest
        doctest.testmod()

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        _test()

    Then running the module as a script will cause the examples in the
    docstrings to get executed and verified:

    python M.py

    This won't display anything unless an example fails, in which case the
    failing example(s) and the cause(s) of the failure(s) are printed to stdout
    (why not stderr? because stderr is a lame hack <0.2 wink>), and the final
    line of output is "Test failed.".

    Run it with the -v switch instead:

    python M.py -v

    and a detailed report of all examples tried is printed to stdout, along
    with assorted summaries at the end.

    You can force verbose mode by passing "verbose=True" to testmod, or prohibit
    it by passing "verbose=False".  In either of those cases, sys.argv is not
    examined by testmod.

    There are a variety of other ways to run doctests, including integration
    with the unittest framework, and support for running non-Python text
    files containing doctests.  There are also many ways to override parts
    of doctest's default behaviors.  See the Library Reference Manual for
    details.

CLASSES

        DocTestFailure
        UnexpectedException
    builtins.object

        Example
        OutputChecker

    class DebugRunner(DocTestRunner)
     |  DebugRunner(checker=None, verbose=None, optionflags=0)
     |
     |  Run doc tests but raise an exception as soon as there is a failure.
     |
     |  If an unexpected exception occurs, an UnexpectedException is raised.
     |  It contains the test, the example, and the original exception:
     |
     |    >>> runner = DebugRunner(verbose=False)
     |    >>> test = DocTestParser().get_doctest('>>> raise KeyError\n42',
     |    ...                                    {}, 'foo', 'foo.py', 0)
     |    >>> try:
     |    ...     runner.run(test)
     |    ... except UnexpectedException as f:
     |    ...     failure = f
     |
     |    >>> failure.test is test
     |    True
     |
     |    >>> failure.example.want
     |    '42\n'
     |
     |    >>> exc_info = failure.exc_info
     |    >>> raise exc_info[1] # Already has the traceback
     |    Traceback (most recent call last):
     |    ...
     |    KeyError
     |
     |  We wrap the original exception to give the calling application
     |  access to the test and example information.
     |
     |  If the output doesn't match, then a DocTestFailure is raised:
     |
     |    >>> test = DocTestParser().get_doctest('''
     |    ...      >>> x = 1
     |    ...      >>> x
     |    ...      2
     |    ...      ''', {}, 'foo', 'foo.py', 0)
     |
     |    >>> try:
     |    ...    runner.run(test)
     |    ... except DocTestFailure as f:
     |    ...    failure = f
     |
     |  DocTestFailure objects provide access to the test:
     |
     |    >>> failure.test is test
     |    True
     |
     |  As well as to the example:
     |
     |    >>> failure.example.want
     |    '2\n'
     |
     |  and the actual output:
     |
     |    >>> failure.got
     |    '1\n'
     |
     |  If a failure or error occurs, the globals are left intact:
     |
     |    >>> del test.globs['__builtins__']
     |    >>> test.globs
     |    {'x': 1}
     |
     |    >>> test = DocTestParser().get_doctest('''
     |    ...      >>> x = 2
     |    ...      >>> raise KeyError
     |    ...      ''', {}, 'foo', 'foo.py', 0)
     |
     |    >>> runner.run(test)
     |    Traceback (most recent call last):
     |    ...
     |    doctest.UnexpectedException: <DocTest foo from foo.py:0 (2 examples)>
     |
     |    >>> del test.globs['__builtins__']
     |    >>> test.globs
     |    {'x': 2}
     |
     |  But the globals are cleared if there is no error:
     |
     |    >>> test = DocTestParser().get_doctest('''
     |    ...      >>> x = 2
     |    ...      ''', {}, 'foo', 'foo.py', 0)
     |
     |    >>> runner.run(test)
     |    TestResults(failed=0, attempted=1)
     |
     |    >>> test.globs
     |    {}

     |      builtins.object
     |
     |  Methods defined here:
     |
     |  report_failure(self, out, test, example, got)
     |      Report that the given example failed.
     |
     |  report_unexpected_exception(self, out, test, example, exc_info)
     |      Report that the given example raised an unexpected exception.
     |
     |  run(self, test, compileflags=None, out=None, clear_globs=True)
     |      Run the examples in `test`, and display the results using the
     |      writer function `out`.
     |
     |      The examples are run in the namespace `test.globs`.  If
     |      `clear_globs` is true (the default), then this namespace will
     |      be cleared after the test runs, to help with garbage
     |      collection.  If you would like to examine the namespace after
     |      the test completes, then use `clear_globs=False`.
     |
     |      `compileflags` gives the set of flags that should be used by
     |      the Python compiler when running the examples.  If not
     |      specified, then it will default to the set of future-import
     |      flags that apply to `globs`.
     |
     |      The output of each example is checked using
     |      `DocTestRunner.check_output`, and the results are formatted by
     |      the `DocTestRunner.report_*` methods.

     |  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     |  Methods inherited from DocTestRunner:
     |
     |  __init__(self, checker=None, verbose=None, optionflags=0)
     |      Create a new test runner.
     |
     |      Optional keyword arg `checker` is the `OutputChecker` that
     |      should be used to compare the expected outputs and actual
     |      outputs of doctest examples.
     |
     |      Optional keyword arg 'verbose' prints lots of stuff if true,
     |      only failures if false; by default, it's true iff '-v' is in
     |      sys.argv.
     |
     |      Optional argument `optionflags` can be used to control how the
     |      test runner compares expected output to actual output, and how
     |      it displays failures.  See the documentation for `testmod` for
     |      more information.

     |
     |  report_start(self, out, test, example)
     |      Report that the test runner is about to process the given
     |      example.  (Only displays a message if verbose=True)
     |
     |  report_success(self, out, test, example, got)
     |      Report that the given example ran successfully.  (Only
     |      displays a message if verbose=True)
     |
     |  summarize(self, verbose=None)
     |      Print a summary of all the test cases that have been run by
     |      this DocTestRunner, and return a tuple `(f, t)`, where `f` is
     |      the total number of failed examples, and `t` is the total
     |      number of tried examples.
     |
     |      The optional `verbose` argument controls how detailed the
     |      summary is.  If the verbosity is not specified, then the
     |      DocTestRunner's verbosity is used.

     |  DocTestFinder(verbose=False, parser=<doctest.DocTestParser object at 0x7f382ae8d8d0>, recurse=True, exclude_empty=True)
     |
     |  A class used to extract the DocTests that are relevant to a given
     |  object, from its docstring and the docstrings of its contained
     |  objects.  Doctests can currently be extracted from the following
     |  object types: modules, functions, classes, methods, staticmethods,
     |  classmethods, and properties.
     |
     |  Methods defined here:
     |
     |  __init__(self, verbose=False, parser=<doctest.DocTestParser object at 0x7f382ae8d8d0>, recurse=True, exclude_empty=True)
     |      Create a new doctest finder.
     |
     |      The optional argument `parser` specifies a class or
     |      function that should be used to create new DocTest objects (or
     |      objects that implement the same interface as DocTest).  The
     |      signature for this factory function should match the signature
     |      of the DocTest constructor.
     |
     |      If the optional argument `recurse` is false, then `find` will
     |      only examine the given object, and not any contained objects.
     |
     |      If the optional argument `exclude_empty` is false, then `find`
     |      will include tests for objects with empty docstrings.
     |
     |  find(self, obj, name=None, module=None, globs=None, extraglobs=None)
     |      Return a list of the DocTests that are defined by the given
     |      object's docstring, or by any of its contained objects'
     |      docstrings.
     |
     |      The optional parameter `module` is the module that contains
     |      the given object.  If the module is not specified or is None, then
     |      the test finder will attempt to automatically determine the
     |      correct module.  The object's module is used:
     |
     |          - As a default namespace, if `globs` is not specified.
     |          - To prevent the DocTestFinder from extracting DocTests
     |            from objects that are imported from other modules.
     |          - To find the name of the file containing the object.
     |          - To help find the line number of the object within its
     |            file.
     |
     |      Contained objects whose module does not match `module` are ignored.
     |
     |      If `module` is False, no attempt to find the module will be made.
     |      This is obscure, of use mostly in tests:  if `module` is False, or
     |      is None but cannot be found automatically, then all objects are
     |      considered to belong to the (non-existent) module, so all contained
     |      objects will (recursively) be searched for doctests.
     |
     |      The globals for each DocTest is formed by combining `globs`
     |      and `extraglobs` (bindings in `extraglobs` override bindings
     |      in `globs`).  A new copy of the globals dictionary is created
     |      for each DocTest.  If `globs` is not specified, then it
     |      defaults to the module's `__dict__`, if specified, or {}
     |      otherwise.  If `extraglobs` is not specified, then it defaults
     |      to {}.

    class DocTestParser(builtins.object)
     |  A class used to parse strings containing doctest examples.
     |
     |  Methods defined here:
     |
     |  get_doctest(self, string, globs, name, filename, lineno)
     |      Extract all doctest examples from the given string, and
     |      collect them into a `DocTest` object.
     |
     |      `globs`, `name`, `filename`, and `lineno` are attributes for
     |      the new `DocTest` object.  See the documentation for `DocTest`
     |      for more information.
     |
     |  get_examples(self, string, name='<string>')
     |      Extract all doctest examples from the given string, and return
     |      them as a list of `Example` objects.  Line numbers are
     |      0-based, because it's most common in doctests that nothing
     |      interesting appears on the same line as opening triple-quote,
     |      and so the first interesting line is called "line 1" then.
     |
     |      The optional argument `name` is a name identifying this
     |      string, and is only used for error messages.
     |
     |  parse(self, string, name='<string>')
     |      Divide the given string into examples and intervening text,
     |      and return them as a list of alternating Examples and strings.
     |      Line numbers for the Examples are 0-based.  The optional
     |      argument `name` is a name identifying this string, and is only
     |      used for error messages.

    class DocTestRunner(builtins.object)
     |  DocTestRunner(checker=None, verbose=None, optionflags=0)
     |
     |  A class used to run DocTest test cases, and accumulate statistics.
     |  The `run` method is used to process a single DocTest case.  It
     |  returns a tuple `(f, t)`, where `t` is the number of test cases
     |  tried, and `f` is the number of test cases that failed.
     |
     |      >>> tests = DocTestFinder().find(_TestClass)
     |      >>> runner = DocTestRunner(verbose=False)
     |      >>> tests.sort(key = lambda test: test.name)
     |      >>> for test in tests:

     |      _TestClass.get -> TestResults(failed=0, attempted=2)
     |      _TestClass.square -> TestResults(failed=0, attempted=1)
     |
     |  The `summarize` method prints a summary of all the test cases that
     |  have been run by the runner, and returns an aggregated `(f, t)`
     |  tuple:
     |
     |      >>> runner.summarize(verbose=1)
     |      4 items passed all tests:
     |         2 tests in _TestClass

     |         2 tests in _TestClass.get
     |         1 tests in _TestClass.square
     |      7 tests in 4 items.
     |      7 passed and 0 failed.
     |      Test passed.
     |      TestResults(failed=0, attempted=7)

     |  The aggregated number of tried examples and failed examples is
     |  also available via the `tries` and `failures` attributes:
     |
     |      >>> runner.tries
     |      7
     |      >>> runner.failures
     |      0
     |
     |  The comparison between expected outputs and actual outputs is done
     |  by an `OutputChecker`.  This comparison may be customized with a
     |  number of option flags; see the documentation for `testmod` for
     |  more information.  If the option flags are insufficient, then the
     |  comparison may also be customized by passing a subclass of
     |  `OutputChecker` to the constructor.
     |
     |  The test runner's display output can be controlled in two ways.
     |  First, an output function (`out) can be passed to
     |  `TestRunner.run`; this function will be called with strings that
     |  should be displayed.  It defaults to `sys.stdout.write`.  If
     |  capturing the output is not sufficient, then the display output
     |  can be also customized by subclassing DocTestRunner, and
     |  overriding the methods `report_start`, `report_success`,
     |  `report_unexpected_exception`, and `report_failure`.
     |
     |  Methods defined here:
     |
     |  __init__(self, checker=None, verbose=None, optionflags=0)
     |      Create a new test runner.
     |
     |      Optional keyword arg `checker` is the `OutputChecker` that
     |      should be used to compare the expected outputs and actual
     |      outputs of doctest examples.
     |
     |      Optional keyword arg 'verbose' prints lots of stuff if true,
     |      only failures if false; by default, it's true iff '-v' is in
     |      sys.argv.
     |
     |      Optional argument `optionflags` can be used to control how the
     |      test runner compares expected output to actual output, and how
     |      it displays failures.  See the documentation for `testmod` for
     |      more information.

     |  report_failure(self, out, test, example, got)
     |      Report that the given example failed.
     |
     |  report_start(self, out, test, example)
     |      Report that the test runner is about to process the given

     |
     |  report_success(self, out, test, example, got)
     |      Report that the given example ran successfully.  (Only
     |      displays a message if verbose=True)
     |

     |      Report that the given example raised an unexpected exception.
     |
     |  run(self, test, compileflags=None, out=None, clear_globs=True)
     |      Run the examples in `test`, and display the results using the
     |      writer function `out`.
     |
     |      The examples are run in the namespace `test.globs`.  If
     |      `clear_globs` is true (the default), then this namespace will
     |      be cleared after the test runs, to help with garbage
     |      collection.  If you would like to examine the namespace after
     |      the test completes, then use `clear_globs=False`.
     |
     |      `compileflags` gives the set of flags that should be used by
     |      the Python compiler when running the examples.  If not
     |      specified, then it will default to the set of future-import
     |      flags that apply to `globs`.
     |
     |      The output of each example is checked using
     |      `DocTestRunner.check_output`, and the results are formatted by
     |      the `DocTestRunner.report_*` methods.
     |
     |  summarize(self, verbose=None)
     |      Print a summary of all the test cases that have been run by
     |      this DocTestRunner, and return a tuple `(f, t)`, where `f` is
     |      the total number of failed examples, and `t` is the total
     |      number of tried examples.
     |
     |      The optional `verbose` argument controls how detailed the
     |      summary is.  If the verbosity is not specified, then the
     |      DocTestRunner's verbosity is used.

    class Example(builtins.object)
     |  Example(source, want, exc_msg=None, lineno=0, indent=0, options=None)
     |
     |  A single doctest example, consisting of source code and expected
     |  output.  `Example` defines the following attributes:
     |
     |    - source: A single Python statement, always ending with a newline.
     |      The constructor adds a newline if needed.
     |
     |    - want: The expected output from running the source code (either
     |      from stdout, or a traceback in case of exception).  `want` ends
     |      with a newline unless it's empty, in which case it's an empty
     |      string.  The constructor adds a newline if needed.
     |
     |    - exc_msg: The exception message generated by the example, if
     |      the example is expected to generate an exception; or `None` if
     |      it is not expected to generate an exception.  This exception
     |      message is compared against the return value of
     |      `traceback.format_exception_only()`.  `exc_msg` ends with a
     |      newline unless it's `None`.  The constructor adds a newline
     |      if needed.
     |
     |    - lineno: The line number within the DocTest string containing
     |      this Example where the Example begins.  This line number is
     |      zero-based, with respect to the beginning of the DocTest.
     |
     |    - indent: The example's indentation in the DocTest string.
     |      I.e., the number of space characters that precede the
     |      example's first prompt.
     |
     |    - options: A dictionary mapping from option flags to True or
     |      False, which is used to override default options for this
     |      example.  Any option flags not contained in this dictionary
     |      are left at their default value (as specified by the
     |      DocTestRunner's optionflags).  By default, no options are set.

    class OutputChecker(builtins.object)
     |  A class used to check the whether the actual output from a doctest
     |  example matches the expected output.  `OutputChecker` defines two
     |  methods: `check_output`, which compares a given pair of outputs,
     |  and returns true if they match; and `output_difference`, which
     |  returns a string describing the differences between two outputs.

     |  Methods defined here:
     |
     |  check_output(self, want, got, optionflags)
     |      Return True iff the actual output from an example (`got`)
     |      matches the expected output (`want`).  These strings are
     |      always considered to match if they are identical; but
     |      depending on what option flags the test runner is using,
     |      several non-exact match types are also possible.  See the

FUNCTIONS
    DocFileSuite(*paths, **kw)
        A unittest suite for one or more doctest files.

        The path to each doctest file is given as a string; the
        interpretation of that string depends on the keyword argument
        "module_relative".

        A number of options may be provided as keyword arguments:

        module_relative
          If "module_relative" is True, then the given file paths are
          interpreted as os-independent module-relative paths.  By
          default, these paths are relative to the calling module's
          directory; but if the "package" argument is specified, then
          they are relative to that package.  To ensure os-independence,
          "filename" should use "/" characters to separate path
          segments, and may not be an absolute path (i.e., it may not
          begin with "/").

          If "module_relative" is False, then the given file paths are
          interpreted as os-specific paths.  These paths may be absolute
          or relative (to the current working directory).

        package
          A Python package or the name of a Python package whose directory
          should be used as the base directory for module relative paths.
          If "package" is not specified, then the calling module's
          directory is used as the base directory for module relative
          filenames.  It is an error to specify "package" if
          "module_relative" is False.

        setUp
          A set-up function.  This is called before running the
          tests in each file. The setUp function will be passed a DocTest
          object.  The setUp function can access the test globals as the
          globs attribute of the test passed.

        tearDown
          A tear-down function.  This is called after running the
          tests in each file.  The tearDown function will be passed a DocTest
          object.  The tearDown function can access the test globals as the
          globs attribute of the test passed.

        globs
          A dictionary containing initial global variables for the tests.

        optionflags
          A set of doctest option flags expressed as an integer.

        parser
          A DocTestParser (or subclass) that should be used to extract
          tests from the files.

        encoding
          An encoding that will be used to convert the files to unicode.

    DocTestSuite(module=None, globs=None, extraglobs=None, test_finder=None, **options)
        Convert doctest tests for a module to a unittest test suite.

        This converts each documentation string in a module that
        contains doctest tests to a unittest test case.  If any of the
        tests in a doc string fail, then the test case fails.  An exception
        is raised showing the name of the file containing the test and a
        (sometimes approximate) line number.

        The `module` argument provides the module to be tested.  The argument
        can be either a module or a module name.

        If no argument is given, the calling module is used.

        A number of options may be provided as keyword arguments:

        setUp
          A set-up function.  This is called before running the
          tests in each file. The setUp function will be passed a DocTest
          object.  The setUp function can access the test globals as the
          globs attribute of the test passed.

        tearDown
          A tear-down function.  This is called after running the
          tests in each file.  The tearDown function will be passed a DocTest
          object.  The tearDown function can access the test globals as the
          globs attribute of the test passed.

        globs
          A dictionary containing initial global variables for the tests.

        optionflags
           A set of doctest option flags expressed as an integer.

    debug(module, name, pm=False)
        Debug a single doctest docstring.

        Provide the module (or dotted name of the module) containing the
        test to be debugged and the name (within the module) of the object
        with the docstring with tests to be debugged.

    debug_src(src, pm=False, globs=None)
        Debug a single doctest docstring, in argument `src`'

    register_optionflag(name)

    run_docstring_examples(f, globs, verbose=False, name='NoName', compileflags=None, optionflags=0)
        Test examples in the given object's docstring (`f`), using `globs`
        as globals.  Optional argument `name` is used in failure messages.
        If the optional argument `verbose` is true, then generate output
        even if there are no failures.

        `compileflags` gives the set of flags that should be used by the
        Python compiler when running the examples.  If not specified, then
        it will default to the set of future-import flags that apply to
        `globs`.

        Optional keyword arg `optionflags` specifies options for the
        testing and output.  See the documentation for `testmod` for more
        information.

    script_from_examples(s)
        Extract script from text with examples.

        Converts text with examples to a Python script.  Example input is
        converted to regular code.  Example output and all other words
        are converted to comments:

        >>> text = '''
        ...       Here are examples of simple math.
        ...
        ...           Python has super accurate integer addition

        ...           Beyond
        ...
        ...           You can use logic if you want:

    set_unittest_reportflags(flags)
        Sets the unittest option flags.

        The old flag is returned so that a runner could restore the old
        value if it wished to:

          >>> import doctest
          >>> old = doctest._unittest_reportflags
          >>> doctest.set_unittest_reportflags(REPORT_NDIFF |
          ...                          REPORT_ONLY_FIRST_FAILURE) == old
          True

          >>> doctest._unittest_reportflags == (REPORT_NDIFF |
          ...                                   REPORT_ONLY_FIRST_FAILURE)
          True

        Only reporting flags can be set:

          >>> doctest.set_unittest_reportflags(ELLIPSIS)
          Traceback (most recent call last):
          ...
          ValueError: ('Only reporting flags allowed', 8)

          >>> doctest.set_unittest_reportflags(old) == (REPORT_NDIFF |
          ...                                   REPORT_ONLY_FIRST_FAILURE)
          True

    testfile(filename, module_relative=True, name=None, package=None, globs=None, verbose=None, report=True, optionflags=0, extraglobs=None, raise_on_error=False, parser=<doctest.DocTestParser object at 0x7f382ae8d7e0>, encoding=None)
        Test examples in the given file.  Return (#failures, #tests).

        Optional keyword arg "module_relative" specifies how filenames
        should be interpreted:

          - If "module_relative" is True (the default), then "filename"
             specifies a module-relative path.  By default, this path is
             relative to the calling module's directory; but if the
             "package" argument is specified, then it is relative to that
             package.  To ensure os-independence, "filename" should use
             "/" characters to separate path segments, and should not
             be an absolute path (i.e., it may not begin with "/").

          - If "module_relative" is False, then "filename" specifies an
            os-specific path.  The path may be absolute or relative (to
            the current working directory).

        Optional keyword arg "name" gives the name of the test; by default
        use the file's basename.

        Optional keyword argument "package" is a Python package or the
        name of a Python package whose directory should be used as the
        base directory for a module relative filename.  If no package is
        specified, then the calling module's directory is used as the base
        directory for module relative filenames.  It is an error to
        specify "package" if "module_relative" is False.

        Optional keyword arg "globs" gives a dict to be used as the globals
        when executing examples; by default, use {}.  A copy of this dict
        is actually used for each docstring, so that each docstring's
        examples start with a clean slate.

        Optional keyword arg "extraglobs" gives a dictionary that should be
        merged into the globals that are used to execute examples.  By
        default, no extra globals are used.

        Optional keyword arg "verbose" prints lots of stuff if true, prints
        only failures if false; by default, it's true iff "-v" is in sys.argv.

        Optional keyword arg "report" prints a summary at the end when true,
        else prints nothing at the end.  In verbose mode, the summary is
        detailed, else very brief (in fact, empty if all tests passed).

        Optional keyword arg "optionflags" or's together module constants,
        and defaults to 0.  Possible values (see the docs for details):

            DONT_ACCEPT_TRUE_FOR_1
            DONT_ACCEPT_BLANKLINE
            NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
            ELLIPSIS
            SKIP
            IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL
            REPORT_UDIFF
            REPORT_CDIFF
            REPORT_NDIFF
            REPORT_ONLY_FIRST_FAILURE

        Optional keyword arg "raise_on_error" raises an exception on the
        first unexpected exception or failure. This allows failures to be
        post-mortem debugged.

        Optional keyword arg "parser" specifies a DocTestParser (or
        subclass) that should be used to extract tests from the files.

        Optional keyword arg "encoding" specifies an encoding that should
        be used to convert the file to unicode.

        Advanced tomfoolery:  testmod runs methods of a local instance of
        class doctest.Tester, then merges the results into (or creates)
        global Tester instance doctest.master.  Methods of doctest.master
        can be called directly too, if you want to do something unusual.
        Passing report=0 to testmod is especially useful then, to delay
        displaying a summary.  Invoke doctest.master.summarize(verbose)
        when you're done fiddling.

    testmod(m=None, name=None, globs=None, verbose=None, report=True, optionflags=0, extraglobs=None, raise_on_error=False, exclude_empty=False)
        m=None, name=None, globs=None, verbose=None, report=True,
           optionflags=0, extraglobs=None, raise_on_error=False,
           exclude_empty=False

        Test examples in docstrings in functions and classes reachable
        from module m (or the current module if m is not supplied), starting
        with m.__doc__.

        Also test examples reachable from dict m.__test__ if it exists and is
        not None.  m.__test__ maps names to functions, classes and strings;
        function and class docstrings are tested even if the name is private;
        strings are tested directly, as if they were docstrings.

        Return (#failures, #tests).

        See help(doctest) for an overview.

        Optional keyword arg "name" gives the name of the module; by default
        use m.__name__.

        Optional keyword arg "globs" gives a dict to be used as the globals
        when executing examples; by default, use m.__dict__.  A copy of this
        dict is actually used for each docstring, so that each docstring's
        examples start with a clean slate.

        Optional keyword arg "extraglobs" gives a dictionary that should be
        merged into the globals that are used to execute examples.  By
        default, no extra globals are used.  This is new in 2.4.

        Optional keyword arg "verbose" prints lots of stuff if true, prints
        only failures if false; by default, it's true iff "-v" is in sys.argv.

        Optional keyword arg "report" prints a summary at the end when true,
        else prints nothing at the end.  In verbose mode, the summary is
        detailed, else very brief (in fact, empty if all tests passed).

        Optional keyword arg "optionflags" or's together module constants,
        and defaults to 0.  This is new in 2.3.  Possible values (see the
        docs for details):

            DONT_ACCEPT_TRUE_FOR_1
            DONT_ACCEPT_BLANKLINE
            NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
            ELLIPSIS
            SKIP
            IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL
            REPORT_UDIFF
            REPORT_CDIFF
            REPORT_NDIFF
            REPORT_ONLY_FIRST_FAILURE

        Optional keyword arg "raise_on_error" raises an exception on the
        first unexpected exception or failure. This allows failures to be
        post-mortem debugged.

        Advanced tomfoolery:  testmod runs methods of a local instance of

    testsource(module, name)
        Extract the test sources from a doctest docstring as a script.

        Provide the module (or dotted name of the module) containing the
        test to be debugged and the name (within the module) of the object
        with the doc string with tests to be debugged.
